Brief Instructions Brief Instructions The short and simple operating sequence given below permits fast putting into operation of the instrument and setting of its basic functions. As a prerequisite, the IEC-bus address, which is factory-set to 20, must not have been changed. 1.
Switchover to Remote Control Remote Control via IEC Bus Setting the Device Address In order to operate the instrument via the IEC-bus, it must be addressed using the set IEC-bus address. The IEC-bus address of the instrument is factory-set to 20. It can be changed manually in the SETUP - GENERAL SETUP menu or via IEC bus.
Switchover to Remote Control Remote Control via RS-232-Interface Setting the Transmission Parameters To enable an error-free and correct data transmission, the parameters of the unit and the controller should have the same setting. Parameters can be manually changed in menu SETUP-GENERAL SETUP table PORT...
Switchover to Remote Control Limitations The following limitations apply if the unit is remote-controlled via the RS-232-C interface: − No interface messages, some control codes are defined (see chapter 8). − Only the Common Commands *OPC? can be used for command synchronization, *WAI and *OPC are not available.
Switchover to Remote Control Remote Control via RSIB Interface Notes: The RSIB interface is only available for instruments equipped with controller option, FSE-B15. Windows Environment To access the measuring instruments via the RSIB interface the DLLs should be installed in the corresponding directories: Instruments with Windows NT controller: •...
Messages Messages The messages transferred via the data lines of the IEC bus or the RSIB interface (see chapter 8) can be divided into two groups: – interface messages and – device messages. Some control characters are defined for the control of the RS-232-interface (see chapter 8). IEE/IEEE-Bus Interface Messages Interface messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN"...
Messages Device Messages (Commands and Device Responses) Device messages are transferred on the data lines of the IEC bus, the "ATN" control line not being active. ASCII code is used. The device messages are more or less equal for the different interfaces. A distinction is made according to the direction in which they are sent on the IEC bus: –...
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages SCPI Introduction SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) describes a standard command set for programming instruments, irrespective of the type of instrument or manufacturer. The goal of the SCPI consortium is to standardize the device-specific commands to a large extent.
Page 29
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Device-specific commands Hierarchy: Device-specific commands hierarchical structure (see Fig. 5-1). The different levels are represented by combined headers. Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one key word. This key word denotes a complete command system. Example: This key word denotes the command system SENSe...
Page 30
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Optional key words: Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square brackets in the description. The full command length must be recognized by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard.
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Structure of a Command Line A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by a <New Line>, a <New Line> with EOI or an EOI together with the last data byte. Quick BASIC automatically produces an EOI together with the last data byte.
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Parameters Most commands require a parameter to be specified. The parameters must be separated from the header by a "white space". Permissible parameters are numerical values, Boolean parameters, text, character strings and block data. The type of parameter required for the respective command and the permissible range of values are specified in the command description (see Section 3.6).
Structure and Syntax of the Device Messages Text Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be entered using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the header by a white space. In the case of a query, the short form of the text is provided.
Instrument Model and Command Processing Instrument Model and Command Processing The instrument model shown in Fig. 5-2 has been made viewed from the standpoint of the servicing of IEC-bus commands. The individual components work independently of each other and simultaneously. They communicate by means of so-called "messages".
Instrument Model and Command Processing Command Recognition The command recognition analyses the data received from the input unit. It proceeds in the order in which it receives the data. Only a DCL is serviced with priority, a GET (Group Execute Trigger), e.g., is only executed after the commands received before as well.
Instrument Model and Command Processing Output Unit The output unit collects the information requested by the controller, which it receives from the data set management. It processes it according to the SCPI rules and makes it available in the output buffer. The output buffer has a size of 4096 characters.
Status Reporting System Status Reporting System The status reporting system (cf. Fig. 5-3) stores all information on the present operating state of the instrument, e.g. that the instrument presently carries out an AUTORANGE and on errors which have occurred. This information is stored in the status registers and in the error queue. The status registers and the error queue can be queried via IEC bus.
Page 38
Status Reporting System CONDition part The CONDition part is directly written into by the hardware or the sum bit of the next lower register. Its contents reflects the current instrument status. This register part can only be read, but not written into or cleared. Its contents is not affected by reading.
Status Reporting System Overview of the Status Registers not used Subrange limit attained Subrange 10 Subrange 9 Subrange 8 Subrange 7 Subrange 6 Subrange 5 Subrange 4 Subrange 3 Subrange 2 Subrange 1 STATus:QUEStionable:TRANsducer & = logical AND not used not used not used = logical OR...
Status Reporting System Description of the Status Registers Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by collecting the pieces of information of the lower registers. It can thus be compared with the CONDition part of an SCPI register and assumes the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy.
Status Reporting System IST Flag and Parallel Poll Enable Register (PPE) By analogy with the SRQ, the IST flag combines the entire status information in a single bit. It can be queried by means of a parallel poll or using command "*IST?". The parallel poll enable register (PPE) determines which bits of the STB contribute to the IST flag.
Status Reporting System STATus:OPERation Register In the CONDition part, this register contains information on which actions the instrument is being executing or, in the EVENt part, information on which actions the instrument has executed since the last reading. It can be read using commands "STATus:OPERation:CONDition?" or "STATus :OPERation[:EVENt]?".
Status Reporting System STATus:QUEStionable Register This register comprises information about indefinite states which may occur if the unit is operated without meeting the specifications. It can be queried by commands STATus:QUEStionable: CONDition? and STATus:QUEStionable[:EVENt]?. Table 5-5 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable register Bit No.

Table 5-6 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:FREQuency register Bit No. Meaning OVEN COLD This bit is set if the reference oscillator has not yet attained its operating temperature. ’OCXO’ will then be displayed.
Status Reporting System STATus QUEStionable:LIMit Register This register comprises information about the observance of limit lines. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit:CONDition? and STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit [:EVENt]?. Table 5-7 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:LIMit register Bit No. Meaning LIMit 1 FAIL This bit is set if limit line 1 is violated.
Status Reporting System STATus QUEStionable:LMARgin Register This register comprises information about the observance of limit margins. It can be queried with commands "STATus:QUEStionable STATus:QUEStionable:LMARgin:CONDition? :LMARgin[:EVENt]?. Table 5-8 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:LMARgin register Bit No. Meaning LMARgin 1 FAIL This bit is set if limit margin 1 is violated. LMARgin 2 FAIL This bit is set if limit margin 2 is violated.
Status Reporting System STATus QUEStionable:POWer Register This register comprises all information about possible overloads of the unit. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable :POWer:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:POWer [:EVENt]?. Table 5-9 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:POWer register Bit No. Meaning OVERload (Screen A) This bit is set if the RF input is overloaded.
Status Reporting System STATus QUEStionable:SYNC Register This register comprises information about sync and burst events related to Vector Analyzer mode, option FSE-B7, and to GSM measurements, options FSE-K10/20/30 and FSE-K11/21/31). It can be queried with commands "STATus STATus:QUEStionable:SYNC:CONDition? :QUEStionable:SYNC[:EVENt]?. Table 5-10 Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:SYNC register Bit No.
Status Reporting System STATus QUEStionable:TRANsducer Register This register indicates that a transducer hold point is attained (bit 15) and what range is to be swept next (bit 0 to 10). The sweep can be continued with command INITiate2:CONMeasure. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:TRANsducer:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:TRANsducer[:EVENt]?.
Status Reporting System Application of the Status Reporting Systems In order to be able to effectively use the status reporting system, the information contained there must be transmitted to the controller and further processed there. There are several methods which are represented in the following.
Status Reporting System Parallel Poll In a parallel poll, up to eight instruments are simultaneously requested by the controller by means of a single command to transmit 1 bit of information each on the data lines, i.e., to set the data line allocated to each instrument to logically "0"...
Status Reporting System Resetting Values of the Status Reporting System Table 5-12 comprises the different commands and events causing the status reporting system to be reset. None of the commands, except for *RST and SYSTem:PRESet influences the functional instrument settings. In particular, DCL does not change the instrument settings.

Notation 6 Description of Commands Notation In the following sections, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then described in detail, separated according to the command system. The notation corresponds to the one of the SCPI standards to a large extent. The SCPI conformity information can be taken from the individual description of the commands.
Page 59
Notation Upper/lower case notation Upper/lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key words of a command in the description (see Chapter 5). The instrument itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters. Special characters A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several commands.
Page 60
Notation <numeric_value> <num> These indications mark parameters which may be entered as numeric values or be set using specific keywords (character data). The keywords given below are permitted: MINimum This keyword sets the parameter to the smallest possible value. MAXimum This keyword sets the parameter to the largest possible value.
Page 61
Common Commands Common Commands The common commands are taken from the IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625-2) standard. Same commands have the same effect on different devices. The headers of these commands consist of an asterisk "*" followed by three letters. Many common commands refer to the status reporting system which is described in detail in Chapter 5.
Page 62
Common Commands *ESE 0 to 255 EVENT STATUS ENABLE sets the event status enable register to the value indicated. Query *ESE? returns the contents of the event status enable register in decimal form. *ESR? STANDARD EVENT STATUS QUERY returns the contents of the event status register in decimal form (0 to 255) and subsequently sets the register to zero.
Page 63
Common Commands *OPT? OPTION IDENTIFICATION QUERY queries the options included in the instrument and returns a list of the options installed. The options are separated from each other by means of commas. Position Option FSE-B3 TV Demodulator FSE-B4 Low Phase Noise & OCXO FSE-B5 FFT-Filter reserved...
Page 64
Common Commands *PSC 0 | 1 POWER ON STATUS CLEAR determines whether the contents of the ENABle registers is maintained or reset in switching on. *PSC = 0 causes the contents of the status registers to be maintained. Thus a service request can be triggered in switching on in the case of a corresponding configuration of status registers ESE and SRE.

Maintenance 8 Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces The following chapter contains information on the maintenance of the FSE and on the instrument interfaces. The address of our support center and a list of all Rohde & Schwarz service centers can be found at the beginning of this manual.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces Instrument Interfaces IEC Bus Interface The standard instrument is equipped with an IEC/IEEE Bus connector. An IEEE 488 interface connector is located on the rear panel of the FSE. An external controller for remote control of the instrument can be connected via the IEEE 488 interface connector using a shielded cable.
Instrument Interfaces Bus Lines 1. Data bus with 8 lines DIO 1 to DIO 8. The transmission is bit-parallel and byte-serial in the ASCII/ISO code. DIO1 is the least significant, DIO8 the most significant bit. 2. Control bus with 5 lines. IFC (Interface Clear), active low resets the interfaces of the devices connected to the default setting.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces Interface Functions Instruments which can be remote controlled via the IEC bus can be equipped with different interface functions. Table 8-1 lists the interface functions appropriate for the instrument. Table 8-1 Interface functions Control character Interface function Handshake source function (source handshake), full capability Handshake sink function (acceptor handshake), full capability...
Instrument Interfaces Universal Commands The universal commands are encoded 10 - 1F hex. They affect all instruments connected to the bus without addressing. Table 8-2 Universal Commands Command QuickBASIC command Effect on the instrument (Device Clear) IBCMD (controller%, CHR$(20)) Aborts the processing of the commands just received and sets the command processing software to a defined initial state.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces RS-232-C Interface The standard FSE is equipped with two serial interfaces (RS-232-C). The RS-232-C interfaces are two independent, remote-control channels, both of which may be active at the same time. The programming and interrogation commands affect the same instrument hardware. The interfaces can be set up manually in the SETUP-GENERAL SETUP menu in the COM PORT1/2 table.
Instrument Interfaces DSR (Data Set Ready), Input, active LOW, Indicates that the remote station is ready to receive data. RTS (Request To Send), Output, active LOW. Indicates that the local terminal wants to transmit data. CTS (Clear To Send), Input, active LOW. Used to tell the local terminal that the remote station is ready to receive data.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces Handshake Software handshake In the software handshake mode of operation, the data transfer is controlled using the two control characters XON / XOFF. The instrument uses the control character XON to indicate that it is ready to receive data. If the receive buffer is full, it sends the XOFF character via the interface to the controller.
Page 402
Instrument Interfaces Hardware handshake For hardware handshake, the instrument indicates that it is ready to receive data via the lines DTR and RTS. A logic ’0’ on both lines means ’ready’ and a logic ’1’ means ’not ready’. The RTS line is always active (logic ’0’) as long as the serial interface is switched on.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces RSIB Interface The RSIB interface is only available if the FSE is equipped with a controller option, FSE-B15. It allows the control of FSE by Visual C++ and VisualBasic programs but also by using the Windows applications WinWord and Excel.
Instrument Interfaces Instruments with MS DOS controller: Visual Basic: ’RSIB.BAS’ (D:/runtime/RSIB) ’RSIBC.H’ (D:/runtime/RSIB) Winword: ’RSIBWB.BAS’(D:/runtime/RSIB) Thus, the RSIB directory features a program ‘RSIBCNTR.EXE’ with SCPI commands which can be sent to the instrument by the RSIB interface. This program can be used as a test for the function of the interface.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces RSIB Interface Functions This following sections describe all functions of libraries ’RSIB.DLL’, ’RSIB32.DLL’ "librsib.so" by means of which control applications can be written. Variables ibsta, iberr, ibcntl Same as with the National Instrument interface, successful execution of a command can be checked by means of the variables ibsta, iberr and ibcntl.
Instrument Interfaces List of Interface Functions The DLL functions are matched to the interface functions for IEC/IEEE-bus programming from National Instruments. Functions supported by the DLLs are listed in the following table. Function Description RSDLLibfind() Provides a handle for accessing a device. RSDLLibwrt() Sends a string terminated with a null to a device.

The next call of RSDLLibfind sets up the communication again (only with Windows NT controller). VB format: Function RSDLLibonl (ByVal ud%, ByVal v%, ibsta%, iberr%, ibcntl&) As Integer...
Page 413
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces RSDLLWaitSrq The function waits until the instrument triggers an SRQ with the handle ud. VB format: Function RSDLLWaitSrq (ByVal ud%, Result%, ibsta%, iberr%, ibcntl&) As Integer C format: void FAR PASCAL RSDLLWaitSrq( short ud, short far *result, short far *ibsta, short far *iberr, unsigned long far *ibcntl) C format (Unix): short RSDLLWaitSrq( short ud, short *result, short *ibsta, short *iberr, unsigned long *ibcntl)
Instrument Interfaces User Interface (USER) The user interface, located on the rear panel of the FSE, is a 25 pin Cannon connector which provides access to the two user ports (Port A and Port B). Each port is 8 bits wide (A0 - A7 and B0 -B7) and can be configured either as output or as input.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces Printer Interface (LPT) The 25-pin LPT connector on the rear panel of the FSE is provided for the connection of a printer.. The LPT interface is compatible with the CENTRONICS printer interface. STROBE SELECT BUSY INIT AUTOFEED...
Instrument Interfaces Measurement Converters (PROBE CODE) The PROBE CODE connector is used for supplying power to measurement converters and the providing the correct conversion factor coding to the FSE. Using it, the conversion factors for high-impedance probes, current converters and antennas can be encoded in 10dB steps. In addition, the quantity to be measured (field strength, current and voltage) is also passed to the FSE.
Contents - Maintenance and Instrument Interfaces AF-Output (AF OUTPUT) A miniature telephone jack can be used at the AF OUTPUT connector to connect an external loudspeaker, a headphone set or, e.g., a LF voltmeter. The internal resistance is 10 ohms and the output voltage can be controlled in the MARKER DEMOD menu.
